Shoplifting and organized theft
A visible guard deters opportunists, and plain-clothes agents deal with the people a uniform does not stop.
Retail security guards in Calgary
Retail staff should not have to confront shoplifters or deal with aggressive behaviour on their own. We place uniformed guards at the door, plain-clothes agents on the floor and a firm, trained presence at late-night locations.

“Operating a 24-hour McDonald's in a high-traffic, high-risk area comes with unique challenges, from late-night disturbances to safety concerns for both staff and customers.

We've seen a drastic reduction in loitering, aggressive behavior, and after-hours incidents. Our staff feels protected, and our customers notice the difference.”
Common questions
Should a store use uniformed guards or loss prevention agents?
Uniformed guards deter theft and reassure staff and customers. Plain-clothes agents catch theft that is already happening. Many retailers use both.
Do you provide security for 24-hour stores and restaurants?
Yes. We cover late-night and 24-hour locations, including sites dealing with repeated disturbances.
